This is what happens when Miss Hannah gets Zuzu ready. She is so great to play with Eliza and help her have fun. Eliza loves this Baby… but she always takes her clothes off. This was baby Bessie for Hannah. I guess Liza wanted her own style of baby. That pink purse was one I […]
Last week Max came to me and said that he had a loose tooth. Well… it wasn’t just loose, he was holding it in his hand. He had been eating fruit leather and his tooth hurt so he pushed it out with his tongue. I remember a few weeks ago he said his tooth was […]
Oh how I love this poster from the back page of the April 2013 New Era. I want a huge print of it in my home. What a perfect message for all of us.

This picture was taken after coming home from a walk to the Condie’s. The door was locked so the littles were knocking and trying to get in. I noticed that these two look a tinsy bit alike and wanted to capture the moment. No fancy smiles… but normal day life. Tru with his leaf. Liza […]
You can see the tots are completely amazed by the workings of a typewriter. Jimmy was cleaning out the stake clerk’s office and was taking a bunch of stuff to D.I. I asked him to hold this out so we could show the kids. Totally awesome how much the kid’s loved it. (you can see […]
